Looked at so many wheels and the Rotas seem to be the cheaper options with the looks i want

Also make sure to post pictures once you've got the new wheels on your car
haha, yes definitely a typo.

Have contacted a few distributors of Rota in Aus with a range of answers from Grid R isnt stocked to Grid 18.9.5 is Grid R.
Although i did get one response with pictures of the Grid R which look like the 9.5s.

Will def post pics when the time comes (hopefully soon)

Just a quick update, after contacting a few suppliers ive been told that the Rota Grid 18x9.5 IS ACTAULLY the Rota Grid (R) 18x9.5.

The problem now is that The Grid R doesnt come in 18x8.5 or anything similar. The smallest is 18x9.5.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the front and back with the concave look?

Yes, coilovers. Or, different wheels. You can get concave wheels in the right size and offset to fit without coilovers.

Good luck!

Do you mean different wheels that are concave or the Grids?

I feel as if the 'concaveness' is quite similar to that of the 8.5 Grids. But its surely interesting seeing how there's so many wheels that are basically identical LOL

All i want is the look of the Grid 9.5 made into a 8.5
